Based on the acclaimed scripted podcast, the series chronicles the real-life crisis involving Tony Kiritsis and the reporter unexpectedly drawn into his dangerous confrontation. With a man's life hanging in the balance, Heckman must navigate an increasingly volatile situation while the public listens.
